Lanthanum carbonate tetrahydrate is commonly used as a phosphate binder in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to help reduce high blood phosphate levels (hyperphosphatemia). It works by binding dietary phosphate in the gut, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. This helps manage mineral and bone disorders associated with CKD, improving patient outcomes. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a mineral/inorganic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Lanthanum Carbonate and Lanthanum Carbonate Hydrate. Its PubChem CID is 24937227.
